Juguo Ancient City
莒国古城
A reconstructed old-town district in the former county seat of Ju, themed around the culture of the Zhou-era State of Ju. It pairs well with a visit to Fulai Mountain.
Juxian County was the capital of the Zhou-era State of Ju, which has a long history. The idiom "Never forget Ju" originates here. The Ancient City of Ju has been rebuilt on the site of the old county seat. Its central axis is Juzhou Street, and the district includes replicas of a city gate, Zhuangyuan Archway, Jinshi Archway, Buyun Bridge, the Caishen Temple and the Confucian Temple. You will also find the Ju Culture Museum, intangible cultural heritage displays, specialty snacks and handicraft shops. During the day you can learn about Ju culture and the history of the Dongyi peoples, and in the evening the lights make it a pleasant place for a stroll and photos. Admission to the district is generally free, though some museums charge separately. The town is about 15 minutes by car from Fulai Mountain, and Juxian Station has high-speed rail links to Rizhao, Linyi and other cities.
